About Project Graduation

What is it?

It is a chemical-free all night (9:30 pm to 5 am) celebration that includes various activities, games, music, entertainment. It’s an important event for the seniors, as it may be the last time many of them will see each other for years to come.

Where does it all happen?

When is it scheduled?

Beginning at 9:30 pm on Friday after the Graduation Ceremony and continuing until 5 am the next morning.

Doors open for the seniors at 9:30 pm. All seniors are required to wear the Project Graduation t-shirt to the event; no exceptions. No student will be allowed to leave the premises during the event (even if they are 18 years of age) without a phone call notifying a parent/guardian of the student’s desire to leave. Phone calls are made to the designated numbers given on the forms during Ticket Sales.

Funding and Sponsors

We have almost 200 local businesses that contribute to funding this event; many have been with us since the beginning. This event wouldn’t be possible without the businesses that make donations.  Various pizza makers provide pies throughout the night, in addition to ice cream, chicken wings, bagels/donuts, sub sandwiches, muffins, fruit, egg rolls, popcorn, veggies, cake, soda/water and juice. We are very grateful to be located in such a giving community. If you know a business who would like to get involved, please have them contact us.

Ticket Sales

The ticket price is $30.00. Ticket sales will take place the week prior to graduation, Monday through Thursday only from 11 am to 1 pm in front of the South Office. A contact information form will need to be completed at the time of purchase (in case your graduate has the desire to leave).  Students 18 years of age will also need a valid driver’s license. If you qualify for low-income assistance, and cannot afford to purchase a ticket, please contact the SPASH Coordinator. Included in the ticket price is a specially designed t-shirt to wear on the night of the event.

Who plans this celebration?

Currently, there are two SPASH Administrative Coordinators who oversee the entire production with the assistance of committees, which include: Bingo, Casino, Food, Registration, Door Monitor, Ticket Sales, Volunteers.
